This paper presents experimental results about characteristics of soil discharge as a function of moisture content when the $1.2/50{\mu}s$ lightning impulse voltage is applied. The laboratory experiments, for this study, were carried out based on factors affecting the transient behavior in soils. The electrical breakdown in soils was measured over a 0-6% range of moisture content for sands and a 0-4% range of moisture content for gravels. Needle-plane electrode systems was used As a result, the conduction current prior to ionization growth in dry soil is a little, but it in wet soil is increased with the applied voltage because the wet soil particles act as conductors. The soil impedance curves show an abrupt reduction just after breakdown. The general tendency measured in different soils is that the higher the water content, the lower the breakdown voltage and the shorter the time-lag to breakdown.

This paper deals with a methodology that applies the time-varying magnetic fields produced by the cloud discharges to find the direction of thunderstorm movement. We investigated the basic performance of the magnetic field measurement system composed of multi-turn loop-type sensors, the differential amplifier and active integrator. As a result, the response characteristics of the magnetic field sensor system to sinusoidal signals was excellent. The frequency bandwidth ranges from about 1 kHz to 500 kHz, the response sensitivity was 0.16mV/nT. In addition, we proposed the algorithm that determines the direction of lightning discharges using the comparison of the output signals of right-angled loop-type magnetic field sensors. The accuracy of the direction finding of lightning discharges is fairly well within the measurement error of less than $5^{\circ}$. The magnetic field measurement system proposed in this work can be used to track the direction of thunderstorm movement.

In this paper, in order to obtain the statistic information for parameters of electric and magnetic field waveforms associated with lightning discharges, the electric and magnetic fields produced by lightning discharges in the summer of 1995 were measured by a hemisphere-type electric field sensor and a loop-type magnetic field sensor, which were installed at the campus of Inha University in Inchon. The signals of the electric and magnetic fields were continuously recorded by a transient digitizer having a resolution of 12 bit and a memory capacity of 5000 point. Negative lightning discharges are produced very more than positive lightning discharges in the summer of Korea. The 10 to 90 % rise time of electric and magnetic fields was 2 $2\;{\sim}\;10\;{\mu}s$. And the zero-crossing time of electric field was $15\;{\sim}\;25\;{\mu}s$, whereas that of magnetic field was $20\;{\sim}\;30\;{\mu}s$.

Predischarges in nonuniform electric field stressed by lightning impulse voltagesin SF(sub)6-$N_2$mixtures are initiated by streamer coronas. Due to field ehnancement at a protrusion point of electrodes new ionization processes occur and a precursor, which leads to a first leader, is created. The leader proceeds step by step to the opposite electrode and the final jump bridges the test gap. It was found that the predischarge is propagated with a leader mechanism of stepwise expansion from the predischarge current waveforms measured by a shunt. The predischarge current is closely related to the amplitude and polarity of applied voltages, the gas pressure and the gap geometry. The time intervals between step leaders for the positive and negative polarities were inversely proportional to V.P$^2$. When the gas pressure increases in the positive polarity, statistical time lag to statistical time lag to streamer corona inception increase slightly, but the formative time lag to flashover is significantly decreased.

ZnO varistors for distribution surge arrester (18kV, 5kA) were developed and tested microstructure and electrical characteristics. Microstructure of ZnO varistor was consisted of ZnO grain, spinel phase and Bi-rich phase. Average grain size of ZnO varistor was $\mu\textrm{m}$ Reference voltage and lightning impulse residual voltage of ZnO varistor exhibited a good haracteristics above 5.5kV and below 11.56kV, respectively. Consequently, discharge capacity which is the most important characteristics of ZnO varistor for surge arrester exhibited excellent properties above 70kA at twice high-current impulse test. Moreover, variation rate of reference voltage and lightning impulse residual voltage showed below 5% and 2% after high-current impulse test, respectively. Leakage current and watt loss of ZnO varistor will not increase during accelerated aging test at stress condition, such as 3.213kV/$115^{\circ}C$/1000h.

Lightning impulse $(1.2/44[\mus])$ and damped oscillating impulse $(Osc./44[\mus])$ : 0.83[MHz]) breakdown characteristics in sulphur-hexafluoride/nitrogen (SF6-N2) mixtures were investigated. The predischarge currents were observed to clarify the breakdown mechanism. th experiments were carried out under nonuniform electric fields disturbed by a needle-shaped protrusion whose length and diameter are 10[mm] and 1[mm] at total gas pressure up to 0.5[MPa] with nitrogen concentrations varying from 5 to 20[%] in the mixture. The electrical breakdowns of SF6-N2 mixtures for both the positive and negative polarities develop with steplike pulses in leader mechanism and the breakdown voltage -time (V-t) characteristics were affected by the space charge. The voltage-time curves for the negative oscillating impulse voltage were extended over the longer time range. The minimum breakdown voltages for the negative lightning and oscillating impulse voltage were higher than those for the positive ones. in particular the positive breakdown voltages were independent of the gas pressure.

내본 논문에서는 뇌서지에 의해서 발생하는 컴퓨터를 비롯한 전자기기의 장해에 대한 보호대책을 제안하기 위해서내 국내의 뇌보호설비에 대한 규격과 지침에 대한 기술적인 문제점을 분석하였다. 인하도선의 설치방법에 따른 인하도선과 인입용 금속관을 통하여 흐르는 전류사이의 관계를 검토하였으며, 인하도선계에 미치는 표피효과의 영향을 평가하는 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 인하도선을 인입용 금속관에 전기적으로 접속한 때 인하도선과 금속관은 하나의 도체로 작용하며, 표피효과와 쵸킹효과 때문에 뇌격전류는 인하도선보다도 금속관을 통하여 훤씬 많은 전류가 흘렀다. 따라서 뇌격전류에 의한 인하도선의 전위상승으로 야기되는 정전유도와 측면방전 등의 악영향을 억제하기 위해서는 인하도선을 인입용 금속관과 건물의 철골 구조체에 전기적으로 접속하는 것이 매우 효과적이다.

본 논문은 준평등전계중에서 임펄스전압에 대한 $N_2$가스의 절연파괴특성에 관한 것으로 실험은 1.2/50[${\mu}s$] 표준뇌임펄스전압, 180/2500[${\mu}s$] 개폐임펄스전압과 500[ns]/1[MHz] 급준성 과도과전압이 인가된 전극계에서 이루어졌다. 구-평판 전극의 간격은 14[mm]이고, 전계이용률은 71.2[%]이었으며 가스압력은 0.2~0.6[MPa]범위로 하였다. 그 결과 절연파괴는 스트리머방전에 의하여 일어났으며, 절연파괴전압은 상승시간이 빠른 급준성 과도과전압에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 정극성 절연파괴전압이 부극성보다 높았으며, 정극성의 경우 절연파괴까지의 시간도 더 긴 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 전력계통의 절연에 가장 가혹한 영향을 미치는 뇌충격 전압에 대한 50% FOV와 V-t 특성 및 코로나 진전 과정을 불평등 전계중에서 순수 $SF_6, N_2, SF_6-N_2$혼합가스 분위기에서 연구하여 SF6-N2 혼합가스의 파괴과정과 경제적 실용 가능성에 대해서 검토하였다. 실험결과 $SF_6$ 50%-$N_2$ 50% 혼합가스의 50% FOV는 순수 $SF_6$의 80%보다 높다. 또 V-t 특성의 측정치와 등면적 법칙으로 계산된 곡선은 각 경우에 일치했다. 따라서 순수 $SF_6$에 대한 경제적 대체가스로서 SF6 50%-$N_2$ 50% 혼합가스가 사용되어질 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 방전 도형을 이용한 코로나 진전과정 분석으로 이를 입증했다.
